Excerpt:
INDIAN GIVER:
One who gives a gift onty later demand it's return. This expression dates from around 1765 and the American colonial dates. To the early American Indians, who had no concept of money gifts were a form of trad goods. One did not give a gift without expecting one of equivalent value in return; if one could not offer an equivalnt return gift, the original gift would be refused or returned. To the Europenas settlers, with money based trade practices, this seemed insulting; to them gifts were freely given and not for trade. Originally, the expression reflected simply the expectation of a return gift. By the late 1800s, the sense shifted to its contemporary meaning of one who demands a proffered givt back.

INDIAN SUMMER:
A period of war weather following the first frosts of autumn. Several theories have been put forward to explain this expression which originated in America. One says that the meterorigical phenomenon was more prevalent in the west of the country or Indian territory. Another says that because it is a false summer, its name reflects the same falseness as Indian giver. Supporting this latter idea and giving it some credence, is the British phrase St. Martin-de-Grand in London after it was torn down in the 16th century. Additionally, St Martin's Day is 11 November , which often coincides with a spell of warm weather.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin's_Day
Excerpt:
St. Martin's Day, also known as the Feast of St. Martin, Martinstag or Martinmas, the Feast of St Martin of Tours or Martin le Misércordieux, is a time for feasting celebrations. This is the time when autumn wheat seeding is completed. Historically, hiring fairs were held where farm laborers would seek new posts. The feast day, is November 11, the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, who started out as a Roman soldier. He was baptized as an adult and became a monk. It is understood that he was a kind man who led a quiet and simple life. The most famous legend of his life is that he once cut his cloak in half to share with a beggar during a snowstorm, to save the beggar from dying of the cold. That night he dreamed that Jesus was wearing the half-cloak Martin had given away. Martin heard Jesus say to the angels: "Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is not baptised; he has clothed me." ^[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_giver
Excerpt:
Indian giver is an English expression used in North America, used to describe a person who gives a gift (literal or figurative) and later wants it back, or something equivalent in return. The term "Indian gift" was first noted in 1765 by Thomas Hutchinson,^[1] and "Indian giver" was first cited in John Russell Bartlett's Dictionary of Americanisms (1860)^[2] as "Indian giver. When an Indian gives any thing, he expects to receive an equivalent, or to have his gift returned."
The phrase can be offensive,^[3]^[4] particularly to American Indians.^[5]

Etymology
It is unclear exactly how this expression came to be, but the consensus is that it is based on American Indians having a distinctly different sense of property ownership as opposed to those of European ancestry. One theory holds that early European settlers in North America misinterpreted aid and goods they received from local Indians as gifts, when in fact they were intended to be offered in trade, as many tribes operated economically by some form of barter system, or a gift economy where reciprocal giving was practiced.^[6]

[edit] Synonyms

Since the phrase was likely a cultural misunderstanding that denigrates American Indians and no known English synonyms seemed to exist, a group of freecyclers came up with the new word "ersatzgiver" to replace it.^[7]

Excerpt:
In the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries, European settlers were fixated upon the idea of a "manifest destiny." The manifest destiny was the belief, by Europeans living in the United States, that they were to occupy all territory between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.^[1] Until the late 19th century, Europeans and Native Americans continued to wage wars against each other. The Native Americans fought to defend their land and the Europeans fought to claim the land. There are countless events, affecting many tribes, that lead to the payment of reparations to Native Americans today. However, some of the more horrifying events that merit attention are the Massacre at Sand Creek, the Massacre at Wounded Knee and the Trail of Tears. These three events are major examples of the brutal atrocities Native Americans faced in a fight for their land.
The Massacre At Sand Creek - On November 29, 1864, General John Chivington lead a regimen of cavalry against a group of Cheyenne Indians who had set up camp in Sand Creek upon being invited to do so by the United States Army.^[2] Chivington and his men raided the camp at day break, following Chivington's orders to "kill and scalp all, big and little; nits make lice." The Massacre at Sand Creek was a merciless annihilation.^[3]
The Massacre At Wounded Knee - On December 28, 1890, The U.S. Army led Big Foot and his tribe of Sioux Indians to Wounded Knee to camp. The camp, still filled with Sioux Indians, was then massacred by the Army and their Hotchkiss guns. By the end of the battle, nearly 300 Sioux Indians were killed, including Chief Big Foot, and 25 U.S. army soldiers were dead.^[4]
The Trail of Tears - The term "The Trail of Tears" is used to describe the forced migration of the Cherokee Indians from their lands in Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Alabama, to a reserve further west in Oklahoma. Andrew Jackson's "Indian Removal Policy"^[5] permitted the migration, which took place between 1838 and 1839. These groups of Cherokee Indian were forced to make these long journeys with nothing but the clothes on their backs. As a result, many of them died from harsh conditions, starvation and disease. An estimated 4,000 Cherokee Indians died on this abnormally long and hostile trek.

Excerpt:
Reconciliation was the first goal set by President Richard M. Nixon. The Nation was painfully divided, with turbulence in the cities and war overseas. During his Presidency, Nixon succeeded in ending American fighting in Viet Nam and improving relations with the U.S.S.R. and China. But the Watergate scandal brought fresh divisions to the country and ultimately led to his resignation.
His election in 1968 had climaxed a career unusual on two counts: his early success and his comeback after being defeated for President in 1960 and for Governor of California in 1962.
Born in California in 1913, Nixon had a brilliant record at Whittier College and Duke University Law School before beginning the practice of law.
